Aspects of the Jury in Criminal Proceedings

Although a trial by jury happens in only a fraction of the total criminal cases, the jury is one of the most intriguing facets of criminal proceedings. This thesis intends to delve into the various aspects of the criminal jury’s history, formulation, and processes. The different areas included are jury selection, elimination of bias, the jury’s role in criminal trials, their deliberations, determining a verdict, and potential problems with the system that is currently in place. All trials can be expected to have foundational court procedures, readings of the law, opening statements and closing arguments, and testimonies, but it ultimately comes down to what the jury decides at the end that makes all of the aforementioned practices meaningful and necessary. While hysterical witnesses can sometimes bring unexpected occurrences to the trial, the unpredictability of the jury verdict can always leave both parties wondering which way the outcome could possibly go. This thesis intends to explore deeper into these concepts, explaining what goes into the jury process and its vital role in the pursuit for justice

The physiological aspects of traumatic shock

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityThe condition known as shock has been recognized and described by the medical profession for a great many years. Cannon (1923) proposed the descriptive term "exemia," originally applied to a similar condition by Hippocrates. The word shock probably was first used by Latta (1795). Since then there have been many attempts to supply an adequate definition and an explanation for the fatal tendencies ot the condition. In a final explanation of shock there probably will be incorporated much of the knowledge now known. This cause of shock may not be one definite factor but may consist of several factors. Much of the present knowledge has been found to be grossly inadequate in the explanation of other shock-like conditions

Mock Graduation Diploma

While teaching at Linfield College, Dr. Bob Jones participated in a summer research course at the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, studying radioisotopes. Dr. Jones was awarded a mock diploma from Old Bremsstrahlung University as a Dabbler in Radio-Isotope Procedure - the highest of three levels that could be awarded. This entitled him to use the credential DRIP after his name. Jones was a professor of physics at Linfield College from 1955-1987.https://digitalcommons.linfield.edu/lca_bobjones/1007/thumbnail.jp
